10 States That Can't Stand Californians and Why

As a Native American of California I hate California government but not the land

[@orawancarlile6192]

Native Americans in California are treated much better than the rest of the country. My Native Americans in other states were placed in isolated and lacked natural resources which contributed to their poverty. Also, they lack rights less than migrants from other countries. My friend had to sneak out her reservation to get a college education.

Just remain as closed minded as you are. California is extremely diverse, both in the land itself and in heritage. It's a huge state full of beauty. Califonia is not just SF, LA or even SD. I live in the desert far away from the big cities. Very few homeless, crime and the filth as well. I'll never move. And lord knows I wouldn't even consider visiting any of your states.

Most Californians don't care that other states hate us and most Californians don't judge visitors or future residents solely based on the state they're from. The only time I get annoyed by it is when I go somewhere else and some complete stranger from somewhere else (after hearing where I live) feels the need to start their conversation with me by telling me what's wrong with me because of where I live.

Our 2 sons were born in the 80s and my business moved me and my family to the east coast in 96. Before we left we had been in various National and State Parks, such as Yosemite, Point Reyes, Big Basin, Golden Gate. After Reagan left as Gov the state started its decline. Massive people started moving in especially in SoCal and most of the orange groves were replaced 30 miles east of LA for housing and frwys. When me and my wife got our family to Northern VA the schools were bad and the costs of housing were higher. We ended up tutoring our sons through school as we could not get teachers, admin, or school board to fix the problems.

On a whole, I don't mind Californians. My interaction with them have been minimal. While living in London, a couple from California rented the flat below mine. I got a knock on the door. It was my neighbor, she informed me she was from California and asked if I had a hair dryer. My head was buzzed, had no use for a hair dryer. I told her no. She again mentioned she was from California. A few days later, she again knocked on the door and again opened up the conversation with the fact she was from California. She asked me if I knew where she could buy a hair dyer. I wondered if she had even left her flat, the apartment building was in Knightsbridge, a ton of shopping right outside the front door. I mentioned Boots a drug store, just around the corner. She asked if I knew any other shops? I told her I have not looked for one, so no. Well for an English man, you don't seem to know London. You think I am English? I am American, like you. She had to be off her rocker, I have a very thick Chicago accent. Back in the states, I worked at a hotel. I discovered it was not just the woman in London, every guest in the hotel that was from California felt they needed to tell you. It became a running joke at the hotel.

Yep, I knew Utah and Idaho would definitely be on this list. Between these two states that I have lived in, I definitely noticed a more anti-California sentiment in Idaho out of the two. And yes, you are correct.

A lot of Californians are LDS, LA has a huge temple in Westwood, a lot of the earlier settlers of the west were LDS as well (so...even WA has many). The whole west is unified in similar history, so migration of people isn't surprising (especially LDS fleeing an increasingly liberal California).

We were leaning up against the car waiting for golden hour when this fancy sports car with California plates ziped up. A couple emerged and then asked us if the hill we were staring at was the volcano. It was literally a minuscule hill with a footpath. You could walk up that path for a better view of the mountain, however by no stretch of the imagination was it a volcano. We pointed to the real Mt. St Helens behind us, which is a far more majestic sight. They stood and looked at it for a few seconds, hoped back into their fancy sports car and drove back down. It was the most Californian thing I've ever whitnessed in real life and quite hilarious.

You wouldn’t think Minnesota would have a California problem but it does although nothing like these other states. Most Minnesotans are unaware of it but wouldn’t be happy if they knew about it. A few years ago someone wrote an article on global warming refuge’s including the Duluth area in the article. Rich Californians came up bought up a bunch of the land for much more than it was worth driving up prices for other Minnesotans then left because they don’t really want to live there unless they have to.😂 The mayor wasn’t happy because he thought they’d bring more business. The locals weren’t happy because they were priced out of the real estate market and the same for the regional area which uses Northern Minnesota as a summer retreat. At least so far they haven’t returned to the north but they still own the land as far as I know.

You literally can work in a fast food restaurant in California and earn as much as an accountant does in places like Arkansas or Mississippi. Covered California healthcare is a good deal too. Cons: Super expensive, a one bedroom apartment across the street from Topanga Plaza IYKYK mall is $2,700 per month, high state income taxes, high gas prices.

Do you have the means/info to do a episode on which 48 lower states that have culture not consumed by alcoholics? It's strange that we don't discuss the negative impact on economics, housing, law enforcement, subsidized programs for addiction, domestic disputes, neighbor disputes. It's a very long list of negative impacts on our culture.

California native. Moved to Colorado twice then back to Cali. Recently retired to the Ozarks in Arkansas. Reminded me of No Cal . Can you do a video on AIR PARK COMMUNITIES ? I LIVE AT THE VALLEY AIRPARK in Cotter, Arkansas. AirParks are all over the USA. I don't recall seeing anything about airpark comms in the past. Keep up the great videos, info!

[@DanielleHess-e2f]

I’m from the east coast-I’ve been in California since 1983. I’m heading into retirement now and I really want to relocate…but not to any states mentioned here-except Oregon and Nevada. Both are good places for retirement. We’re more conservative, so I don’t think we are typical California types.

Hey Briggs, every time you mention Washington State, all you ever show and talk about is Seattle. What's up with that? There is so much more to Washington than Downtown Seattle. That's all you ever see when discussing the state Just Saying, Briggs.

[@coryphillips7945]

I drove through eastern Washington state last fall and I must disagree...Spokane is a pretty ugly place and there isn't much between there and the coast.

[@WorldAccordingToBriggs]

Did you hear what I said in the videos about that?

[@pdxmtngoat]

Spokane is surrounded by the scenic Selkirk Mountains. Foothills of the Rocky Mountains next to Spokane. 2 hours north to The Canadian Rockies. But yes, I-90 between Seattle and Spokane is not at all scenic. That's probably what most see.

[@coryphillips7945]

@pdxmtngoat yeah I guess driving West from Glacier Park it a little underwhelming. And that burger place in Spokane everybody's always talking about....Bob's or Bubs or whatever....that place is disgusting. It's like a Wendy's with a parking lot full of meth heads and no bathroom...which is probably a win for people who don't want a communicable disease....

[@Jacob-he1lg]

I agree, I bet California was so awesome prior to the 1990s and 2000s. Think about the people that settled California in the 1800s, hearty, resourceful, adventurous pioneers. I would love to live there, but their state government is so bad. I don’t know how people can afford to live there.

[@RandomRabbit007]

@@Jacob-he1lg Once housing is figured-out (which is fine for anyone that bought in the 80s, 90s, early 2000s by now) then it becomes ALOT more manageable. In-fact the wages/salaries makes it WONDERFUL. Just like any place, getting here (and buying a home) is the hardest part. After that it's paradise. Imagine owning property anywhere near SF, LA, SD. You're pretty much GUARANTEED a great wage/salary as long as you work hard and arnt lazy, with the potential to earn MILLIONS per year if you have any intelligence/work-ethic at all.

They are not right and most of these states could not survive without our federal tax dollars which funds their infrastructure and services. 39 million people live in CA and we along with other blue states lead in the following economic sectors: clean energy, biotech, healthcare and education. While red states are cutting education and enacting laws that ban books and discriminate against women and other groups, we are doing the opposite. In fact, young, highly skilled workers are moving to California. For 140 years, people moved into California. These other states need to stop their whining. Americans are free to move anywhere they want. I'll stay in CA in my highly paid union job, fully paid medical benefits in retirement and Prop. 13. CA is a big beautiful state and is not just LA and SF.

I've lived in Florida most of my life. I grew up in South Florida and now I currently live in Ocala. The one state you really see most of is New Yorkers here. The Californians never really bothered me. I feel like they do come over here but just not as much as New Yorkers. New Yorkers don't bother me either. It's just one too many people move in an area all at one time that's when the pricing really goes up, which currently just happened in Ocala.

[@OjiiChan-x2h]

Couple thought came up while listening. When you mentioned mostly Seattle people complaining, how many CA’s move to a big city in their new state, or do they go rural? During a trip in Washington we stopped in Poulsbo, WA and meet a few from CA running their tourist shops there. How many of those from state x to CA are returning? Many of the CA’s moving to state x are moving with companies recruited by that states governor.🤷🏼.

Nothing has changed since the 1960's. Back then these states especially Oregon and Washington hated Californians. They said too many Californians were moving there. At the same time millions were moving to California. The state reached a population of 40 million. This issue of population growth is just not worth worrying about. It's just the way it is.

I have a Facebook friend that lives near Lake Tahoe and he complains about housing.
